224 CATALOGUE OF DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



British Museum ; Donovan's figure (Nat. Eep. iii. pi. 90 : 1825) 

 gives a very poor idea of it. The female is much like a large pale 

 variety of the C. Rhadia of Mr. Doubleday's ' List ; ' the male is 

 nearly white above, below it differs from the female in that it has 

 only one silver spot in the hind wings. 



11. Callidryas Chryseis. 



Race. Papilio (D. C.) Gnoma, Fabricius, " alis integris, rotun- 

 datis, albis ; anticis puncto atro, subtus omnibus puncto argenteo : 

 habitat in India." P. Philippina, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 361. 

 figs. C, D (1782). 



Fabricius, Syst. Ent. app. p. 828. n. 152, 153 (1776) ; Sp. Ins. 

 p. 50. n. 217 (1781) ; Mant. Ins. p. 24. n. 250 (1787) ; 

 EM. Syst. iii. p. 210. n. 658 (1793). 



China. (Presented by E. Larkin, Esq.) B.M. 



There is one specimen of P. Gnoma, associated with the P. Flo- 

 rella of Fabricius, in the Banksian Collection in the British Museum ; 

 it is evidently a race of Drury's P. Chryseis (111. i. pi. 12. figs. 3, 4 : 

 1770). 



12. Callidryas Pyranthe. 



Papilio (D. C.) Pyranthe, Linnceus, " alis rotundatis, albis, puncto 

 apiceque nigris ; subtus cinereo undatis, puncto fulvo : habitat in 

 India orientali." 



Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 473. n. 132 (1775) ; Sp. Ins. p. 44. 

 n. 188 (1781) ; Mant. Ins. p. 20. n. 213 (1787) ; Ent. Syst. 

 iii. p. 198. n. 616 (1793). 



India. (Presented by Sir John Hearsey) B.M. 



Mr. Swinhoe states that this species is abundant amongst rank 

 overgrown herbage (P. Z. S. 1866). 



P. Pyranthe is smaller than P. Chryseis, and has a narrower 

 marginal black band to the front wings ; Donovan's figure (Ins. 

 China, pi. 32. fig. 1 : 1798), being probably copied from Jones's 

 ' Icones,' represents the true P. Chryseis. 



13. Callidryas Amaryllis. 



Papilio (D.) Nephte, Fabricius, " alis repandis, albis ; anticis 

 supra puncto nigro, subtus omnibus fusco : habitat in China." 



Papilio (D. C.) Amaryllis, Fabricius, " alis rotundatis, integerrimis, 

 concoloribus, obscure albidis ; anticis lunula media nigra : habitat in 

 India." Donovan, Ins. Ind, pi. 28. fig. 1 (1800). 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. pp. 189, 190, n. 586, 588 (1793). 



$ , Wuzeerabad, Punjaub. (Presented 1854, by Sir John Hearsey) 



B.M. 



In his notes Mr. Doubleday remarks that P. Amaryllis is a Rho- 

 docera ; this, however, is an error.
